MIKE ROOT CAPTURES THRILLING MORAN CHEVROLET STAN YEE MEMORIAL 150

MIKE ROOT CAPTURES THRILLING MORAN CHEVROLET STAN YEE MEMORIAL 150

(FLAT ROCK, Michigan - July 28, 2012) - It’s a race that will be talked about for a long, long time.  5 different leaders, side by side, sometimes 3-wide racing and just great action from the front to the back.  A stellar field and superb driving by the entire 24 car field set the stage and wrote the book on what race fans come to see at the local short tracks across the nation every summer weekend.  This story will not do this race justice—you really need to talk to the fans that were at Flat Rock to witness this incredible race.

And Saturday night at Flat Rock Speedway, the ARCA Moran Chevrolet Late Models put on perhaps the best race in years for the division at the fast and extremely competitive ¼ mile paved oval.  Grand Rapids, MI driver Mike Root charged to the front after dropping back as far as 20th and powered by Harold Fair Jr. and then Scott Hantz on the high side with 3 laps to go to win the sensational Moran Chevrolet Stan Yee Memorial 150 in front of an excellent crowd on a perfect evening.  Dick Barker, representing Moran Chevy, presented the Gold Cup to Mike, while Ann Yee awarded Root the 5 foot Stan Yee Memorial trophy in victory lane ceremonies.  The 150 lap race was also leg number 5 of the ARCA Allegiant Gold Cup Series.

FLAT ROCK READY FOR ARCA/CRA SUPER SERIES TONIGHT!

Saturday, September 8, 2012 at 9 a.m.:  The rain stopped at Flat Rock Speedway around 7 a.m., the skies are beginning to break and it's full speed ahead for tonight's 7-Up 125 for the ARCA/CRA Super Series Late Models and the track's 300 lap Enduro championship race!

This is the first appearance ever for this touring series at "The Rock".  The stock-bodied Late Models will be led by current point leader Johnny VanDoorn.  Kenzie Ruston, one of the top female stock car drivers in the nation, tested last week at the track and is ready to go.

Veteran Scott Hantz is expected to be strong, along with Terry Fisher Jr.  Flat Rock driver Stan Yee Jr. is entered, along with former Flat Rock racer and ARCA Truck Series champ Paul Hahn, both of whom have hundreds of laps under their belts at the track.

The 300 lap Enduro championship promises to be filled with excitement as 5 drivers still have a shot at the Enduro title.  Matt Ringger holds the cards for the championship going into the final race, which is 50 laps longer than the traditional Enduro races.  This calls for strategy, as many drivers will have to pit for fuel, throwing more interest and drama into the mix!

Practice begins at 3:30, time trials are at 5, Big wheel races for kids 10 and under are at 6, an on-track autograph session with the ARCA/CRA drivers takes place at 6:30 and racing begins at 7 p.m.

See you tonight---425 laps of racing, only at Flat Rock Speedway!
